whoopee west is getting too strong methinks. dallas bench infallable. on paper, looks tough and gritty, something dallas has never had, i bet they'll plug in for starters if the starters try to over-do the scoring or get beaten around.

Travis Best is a decent point guard. He'll be able to backup Nash with ease (looking at how Dallas' roster looks like).

[Vins15]

he may not be another Van Exel but Dallas will take Best cheap...

[Bill Russell]

Travis Best is a good addition to the Mavs, he is a good player.

He won't provide the same scoring off the bench that NVE was capable of during his short tenure in Dallas, but those points will come from Jamison now. Best can be a solid backup to Steve Nash, as he was to Mark Jackson when they were both in Indiana.

best has pass first mentality and i like his quickness, i'd prefer him backing nash on the dallas team than nick the quick just because sometimes nick doesnt share and forces.

But wen he doesnt share he still scores and sometimes u need that mentalilty to shoot first and ask questions later

Dallas got the better of the trade but they will miss NVE

imo dallas have done pretty good by signing Best, first they trade nve to the warriors pick up the type of players that they so desperately need THEN fill nve's spot with a player who has pretty much the same style of game, a great addition to the mavs
